Hiring a wedding caterer in New Orleans, LA
Local cuisine vs. familiar menus
One of the best parts of a destination wedding in New Orleans, LA is the food. Consider incorporating local dishes and ingredients — your guests will remember a menu that reflects the destination. Many caterers offer tasting menus that blend local and international cuisine.
What to budget
Catering costs vary significantly by destination. Budget $75–$250+ per person depending on the style of service (buffet, plated, family-style) and the formality of the event. Don't forget to budget for the welcome dinner and any post-wedding brunches.
Questions to ask before booking
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies? Do you offer tastings before the wedding? Is alcohol included or separate? What's the service style? Do you handle rentals (plates, linens, glassware)? What are your staffing ratios?
When to book
Book 6–10 months ahead. If your venue has an in-house caterer, this decision may be made for you — which simplifies planning considerably.
